This morning we updated the eG Forums to the latest software from Invision, Community Suite 4.3. The bulk of the changes are under the hood, but a few things of note for those who like technical details:

You can now use real emojis (rather than just emoticons). So, 🎉 and/or 🥂. This is particularly nice for those using mobile devices. Emoticons will still work, though .
We've switched from MySQL Fulltext searching to ElasticSearch. This should give better search results in the long run, but will take us a bit of time to really dial in.
Although we don't ever give your information to third parties, and we don't accept advertising, this software update does help us comply with some of the other requirements of the GDPR.
